Oak Tree/Spruce at Middle Island Country Club
About
Middle Island Country Club offers 27 holes of championship golf. It is one of Long Island's most popular public golf courses. It sits almost right at the center of the island, surrounded by the Lustengarten Nursery. The holes are divided into three nines and played as different 18-hole combinations. The Oak/Spruce Course begins with the shortest of the three nines, but there are some tricky doglegs that can make it play longer than what it says on the scorecard. Middle Island's Spruce nine was renovated in 2008, which added an island green on the par-4 seventh and more tee boxes to allow for women, seniors, and championship play. It's the most player friendly of the three nines, with wide fairways and generous greens that give you the freedom to grip it and rip it.

Rude
The starters were very rude. I arrived an hour before my tee time so I could hit the range and putt. Right away, the starter had to validate I had enough time to go to the range. He gives me the green light, then shortly after, 30 mins before my scheduled tee time, he’s barking at me to hurry up, that my group is on the tee. I respond, I still have time, I’m just starting to warm up. He leaves, comes back 10 min later and says let’s go, my 3-some is on the tee, yelling at us like we were late. We still had 20 mins, I said ok fine we will go, but keep in mind, we are EARLY, not late! Relax. Course is decent, wasn’t crowded (no wonder) but starters were very rude and I would not go back.
Middle island
Greens were a bit rough but course is pretty good shape.
Great day on a great course
Weather was heavy rain previous day an steady up to tee time overall conditions were great fairways and greens
Staff was extremely accommodating and was a pleasure to play here
Restaurant was not open so could not rate it
Good shape and friendly staff
Played weekday , easy 18 holes within 4 hours.
They keep good shape fairway, green. And staff/ shop/restaurant and starter are very friendly.
Nice Course but bunkers and greens need some work
Played Oak and Spruce 9s. As my title says bunkers need to be sifted to remove stones in them. Also greens had a lot of ball marks. Our group were fixing 2-3 a man on all greens. Also a lot of old scars on greens too. Other than that course was in pretty good shape.
Good course
Played the course for the first time. Good layout for the two 9 holes I played. Will keep going back, since this course is just 12 minutes from me.
Very disappointed with conditions
My friend made the tee time and we were again not allowed to play the Spruce course. This is the 3rd time that we were not allowed to play this course. The others are nothing special. This is the last time that I will play there considering what they charge. The starter was especially rude to us. We were told that the Spruce was closed for maintenance but saw people on the course when we made the turn.
Good pace for Saturday
Good pace of play for a very busy Saturday morning. Fairways were in great shape. Tee boxes and greens were slightly beat-up, but it is mid-summer. Do wish there was more sand in the traps.
